Netflix's UK division has announced for 2023 a new game show called "Cheat" 
from Fremantle, where contestants can win big bucks by cheating--if the 
other contestants don't catch them in the act:

There's just one little problem--it sure sounds a lot like Netflix's 
current "Bullsh!t the Game Show," which is produced by ITV for Netflix's 
U.S. division at their new Albuquerque facility and is seen in the UK by 
Netflix subscribers.  If it is true that all Netflix originals are 
available to all of their subscribers worldwide (witness the fact that 
shows like "Squid Game" and "Lupin" are available to U.S. subscribers and 
popular), WTF would they basically do two versions of the same premise from 
two different suppliers, the only difference being that on one the 
contestants are playing for U.S. currency and on the other they're playing 
for pound sterling?  Yeah, "Best Shazam" and the "Name That Tune" reboot 
are essentially the same premise, but they're only being seen on the same 
network in the U.S.
